The list was compiled to see how men in 2012 have evolved from the trends set by their predecessors a hundred years ago.

While noblemen of the past sported a moustache, wore ties with pride and chain smoked cigarettes, their health conscious counterparts are clean shaven, dress casually and prefer nicotine gum.

A gentleman who lived in 1912 loved attending the Proms, rode in a Rolls-Royce, went shooting at Elveden, Suffolk, drank claret and went tobogganing in St Moritz in Switzerland according to the report.

But today’s counterpart attends Glastonbury, has a Land Rover Discovery, drinks Pinot Noir from New Zealand, embarks on shooting at Alnwick, Northumberland and goes skiing in the French resort of Val d’Isère.
